Why not just change the subscribe e-mail for this list to list about
five pages (FAQ, LWQ, qmail.org, cr.yp.to and the list archives) that
are essential reading before posting any question? Then any people
that ask a question answered in any of those five areas can be kicked
off the list or something for 2 days (just long enough to make them
have to go research the problem). Only prob is would require a fairly
active list moderator (or a few less active ones).

Change to envdir for completely clean environment

[Karl Vogel]

Greetings:

I like to use "/bin/env - PATH=..." to start things off with a clean
environment, but someone recently reminded me of the existence of envdir.
The patch below tells envdir to zap the environment if the directory
used as the first argument has the sticky bit turned on.

Comments welcome.

What exactly happens when you telnet to port 25? Do you get a telnet thingie
like `Escape character is '^]'.' ?
What does your startup script look like? Did you look at your logfiles? What
do they say?

And once you have that limit in place, just make sure your users don't
send two mails of half the size to get around this limit...

databytes will stop naive dis-interested users, but not determined naive users.

Yes, this really is all that needs to be done---no special compiling or

This is great...what install docs did you follow? Life with qmail? The
ones that come with qmail? An RPM install? What other startup files
are there? Are you using supervise and tcpserver?

Error Code

[Adrian Turcu]

Hello,

I am using qmail v1.03 on RedHat 6.2 system.
After installation, when I try to test the mail-server locally
I got the following error:

 unable to exec qq (#4.3.0)

What happen ?
The installation is for Maildir.

I am using qmail for some times, but never get this message until now (it is always a 
beginning)

Thank you in advance,

The incoming mail isn't bounces or the like, it's the actual message
to deliver out...  Moving bounces off to another machine or another
queue can help, but it's still really easy to swamp the system by
injecting messages.

there seems to be some pitfalls in the installaton of xinetd. make sure
xinetd
does not listen either at 25 nor at 110. are your tcpservers for 25 and 110

Played with TCPSERVER a little more this morning and I'm still unable to
connect to port 25 (telnet listserv.genexchange.com 25) but if I run 'ps ax'
I don't see anything running that would be using port 25 either.  I have
already removed SMTP from xinetd.d so I know xinetd isn't trying to bind
port 25, but if it was I should be able to connect to it right?  So perhaps
I thought I didn't set up tcpserver correctly and decided to go back through
the steps again.

I downloaded the tar to /usr/local/src/ and then untarred it to
/usr/local/src/ucspi-tcp-0.88 and ran 'make' and then 'make setup check' in
that directory.  Then as Dan's installation instructions
(ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/www/ucspi-tcp/install.html) indicates I
"installed" tcpserver to /usr/local/ but I don't see any changes, or
anything different than from last night.  I ran 'install -d /usr/local/' but
nothings changed, nor do I see any new directories or files in /usr/local/.
That has to be the problem I would think because nothing else is using port
25 on this system.

running install --help indicates installation can be done in one of three
methods.  I chose the third option orignally but just now tried a simpler
option (the second) as such "install /usr/local/ucspi-tcp-0.88/ /usr/local/"
and got the following error

install: basename.c:67: base_name: Assertion 'all_slashes || *(p-1) |= '/''
failed.
aborted (core dumped)

Anthony





Dropping smtp back into /etc/xinetd.d/ allows me to connect to port 25 again
so I know I think that pretty conclusively indicates I did not "install"
tcpservers correctly.

These graphs were quite interesting - and seem to backup evidence that
I've seen (in that concurrency remote is not hit untill injection
stops).

Assuming an outbound machine is being used (and another machine for
inbound / bounces)

Hence to improve performance inject should be split up i.e inject 2000,
wait, inject another 2000.  In the wait times concurrency remote would
be reached.

Any ideas on what a good number to try would be for inject / wait cycle
?

Also is changing the scheduler easy ?

Interesting stuff - thanks.

So you are avoiding one big bottle neck - the disks.

Also sending one message will reduce the I/O required compared to n
messages.

What about using tcpserver to limit the inbound connections - or even
move this to another box (if you can split the list like that).

I've used mutiple outbound boxes and a single inbound box to deal with
bounces etc ...

smtp, pop3, RH7 and qmail

[Bauhaus]

Hi,
I was runing RH 6.2. Qmaill was OK. SMTP and POP3 worked.
Now I've switched to RH7 and I can connect neither to SMTP nor POP3.
Qmail starts. SMTP and POP3  is started with tcpserver and supervised. I can
send mail to locals and to remotes. But I can not receive mails from remote
(connection refused) and I can not connect to POP3 at all.
Trying: telnet 212.244.57.120 25
I get:

Trying 212.244.57.120
Connected to 212.244.57.120
Escape character is "^]"

and that's all.

What to to? The inetd is replaced with xinetd.
There are proper (I hope) entries in /etc/services:

smtp25/tcp   mail
.
.
pop3  110/tcp  pop-3
pop3  110/udp pop-3

I hope it's a kind of silly mistake, but I have no idea what kind.
Waiting for any answer.

On a qmail-server, to run fallback for a domain, put that domain in
rcpthosts or morercpthosts and *not* in locals and/or virtualdomains.

man qmail-control and man qmail-smtpd for more info.
